2G Oil filter housing water line

[dyablo]

so my hard line sprung a leak and the replacement for it from jnz won't be here for at least 5/6 days. so can i just remove that line and plug the ends at the oil filter housing and up on top by the thermostat housing for now? daily driver for a 190 mile commute every day.

i thought of running just a simple fuel line hose but not sure it would hold up to the temps from the engine block/exhaust mani and turbo.

MD319841 part number for anyone needing it.

id try a hose and two clamps and is it the send or return line ? both of mine are rubber so idk if yours is aftermarket or what you are talking about, is it one of the two lines that connect right next to the oil filter ? both of those are water lines one is send one is return. ill be able to help if i get what you are saying i've had to do 3 of these in the last two weeks, pics if you can

It's the metal line from right next to the oil filter to up by the thermostate housing. I just ended up running a super long house from the bottom up by the radiator and to the housing. In fears of melting the line if ran behind the turbo.

Jnz was able to order the line. So problem fixed with the part number mentioned above.
